I just bought a 2018 ram 2500 Cummins and use it as a daily driver. I came from a 2013 Chevy gasser. The ride is much smoother, the mpg is 19. No mods. Everything stock.

@hardtruth2039 6 лет назад

I just bought a new 2018 ram tradesman crew cab 2500 Cummins 4x2. This is my first diesel and I am hooked. I get 17-18mpg city and 24-26mpg highway at 70mph. I’ll never go back.

@mellogan6796 6 лет назад

I can't wait to get mine next year.

@pmontano8500 6 лет назад

I also have a Ram but a 2014 CD Crew 4x4 Auto, and use mine as a daily for last 3.5 years, I have 44k miles it's been good no issues except front ball joints need replacing soon, I'm in mountainous area 6500 ft elevation in northern New Mexico, highway cruises smooth from 15-19mpg, city is about 14mpg in winter, Took trip to Rocky Mtn loop from Denver,Estes Park, Grand Lake,Winter Park back to Denver I amazingly got 26mpg's!!! Been a great truck this far ! Thanks for review n post.

@saeedbenjamin8813 5 лет назад

Paul Montano ball joints. ... my f450 has 900 pond it & all is good because it was not made with mommies in mind. The new style of ram has the worst visibility of any dodge I had seen. Sad

@markmozley5604 6 лет назад

Hey thanks. I am looking at a 2017 model. I love in North Georgia but have a place I drive to in Driggs Idaho. Had a Tahoe I had put 427k miles on si I am looking at these. Cold weather is a corn for me

@twistedtree01 6 лет назад

Was thinking about getting a big deisel for a while think I will now thanks for the video

@dennisdwagner2012 6 лет назад

Try the stealth module if you are unable to delete. I went this route to have much less of a chance of losing my warranty where it’s removable and doesn’t leave a foot print on the ecu. It doesn’t turn it into an animal but I’m very happy with the bump in power between 1500-2000rpm and also I’m averaging 21mpg consistently with a lot of start and stop and idling time, and that’s hand calculated btw.

@kfs4869 5 лет назад

Hey man, thanks for the heads up. Great info. I’ve been looking getting one. I’ll have to do more research before buying.

@jet0577 5 лет назад

Same ...especially for towing a 5th wheel.

@jason_l5p 6 лет назад

I’m assuming other states have other laws, but Missouri 3/4 and 1 ton truck don’t have to pass emissions? So in Missouri most diesels are straight piped.

@Chad-wb7du 5 лет назад

I just went to that cafe rio that you passed yesterday haha. Thanks! Have any issues with the emissions stuff? How many times has it gone into regen mode? Has it ever went into limp mode? What about reliability long term?

@rickwalker6733 7 лет назад

Thanks Jeff..

@rickwalker6733 7 лет назад

Hey Jeff, TFL Truck did a 43mi run to check the avg mpg's on your same truck going a steady speed of 65. The result was 24.7 mpg. Did you ever get close to that prior to modifying?

@drivenoutdoors_208 7 лет назад

+Rick Walker yeah that was a two-wheel drive I believe that they tested. I know that they added a little bit of weight in the bed to try to make it as accurate as possible. I saw right around 22 MPG hand calculated on a regular basis when I would take longer road trips. They MPG that I talked about is really only going from Meridian to work which is in Boise.

@RedondoBeach2 3 года назад

Jeff, thanks for making this video. I'm thinking about buying a used 2015 Ram 2500 ST from a fleet of utility trucks. The one I'm looking at comes with a lift gate and rear window guard. Both look extremely heavy duty. Unfortunately that's all the information available. The milage isn't even listed. Knowing what you know about the 2015 2500, what tips can you give me on things to inspect while considering buying the truck? I'm most interested in understanding the biggest known problems to look for while inspecting the truck.

@domcummins4148 3 года назад

These trucks are amazing. The sound is unmistakable👍

@airsoftsnipes100 5 лет назад

I'm buying the same truck used right now, probably just gonna carry a container of DEF under the seat or in the toolbox I have because knowing me I am forgetful. Also, I run a business right and if I register commercial under my business I can delete it. Is it worth it to avoid having to clean the EGR, DPF etc.? Have you had to clean those yet?

@ryanmatrix11 5 лет назад

Hey thinking about purchasing a 2500 Cummins Currently haul building supplies drywall beams and appliances etc almost weekly but also like to take my truck up north to ride trails on my dirt bike and stuff hunting hauling the fishing boat etc currently own a 1500 5.7 would I notice an improvement or should I stay with a 1500 the heaviest thing I haul is a John Deere 2010 and that's once a year typically great vid loved the beginning!!!

@alangwin3891 6 лет назад

Hey Jeff, really enjoyed this video. I also live where deletes are not legal so your observations about your truck and the options you’ve chosen are very helpful to me. I also will run 295/70 R18 tires, was just wondering what tire pressures you are running to achieve the mpg figures you mentioned in the video. I live in southern CA but ordered my new truck from Dennis Dillon Ram in Caldwell. Hopefully will be coming up there to take delivery in the next couple of weeks. Never been to Idaho and very much looking forward to it. Love road trips, and with a new truck, can’t hardly wait. Thanks for your time, Alan

@drivenoutdoors_208 6 лет назад

Hey Alan thanks for watching. I usually ran 50psi unless I'm towing then I'll bump it back up to spec.

@alangwin3891 6 лет назад

Jeff Borron Thanks, that,s what I was hoping to hear. Running 80 psi would be excruciating when not towing. Thanks again, really appreciate the info. Did you purchase your truck from Dennis Dillon as I did?

@oldsoulrider7636 7 лет назад

Thanks for the info.. I'm also in Idaho, Meridian area. I'm looking at getting another truck in the next 4 months. It's gonna be a diesel just not totally sure on the make yet.

@drivenoutdoors_208 6 лет назад

oldsoul rider I would look really hard at the Duramax personally

@curtisbull1583 6 лет назад

Duramax's are good motors, but a real nightmare to work on. If there is a chance you'll be the one working on it, stick with a cummins, by far the easiest to work on. GM interiors aren't up to par with ram either, IMO.

@bostonblueguy 5 лет назад

Garage clearance is something I'm worried about. When I pull into my garage at work there is a height bumper that says 6'2. Do you know what the original height was before mods? Also your 7 ft clearance you mentioned... Was that even though some garages said less?

O I'm looking into going with double R Diesel and the ERG delete tune.

@drivenoutdoors_208 7 лет назад

+ATC235 Wish I could but I can't due to emissions testing here. My 2012 was fully deleted(In AZ) and I loved it 👍

@allincamo 7 лет назад

The MM3 from Double R Diesel, seems to be the BEST way to go, I will be doing full Deletes this summer. MM3 , a one unit does it all tuner.

How do you pass inspection with 5 percent tint?

@duelsporthonda9003 5 лет назад

I am seriously looking at this truck. How is it acceleration wise? Not flooring it, just comfortably taking off from a green light? Thanks

@rrb396 5 лет назад

It's wonderful lol. Seriously feels more effortless to take off than it does in a car. I love it.

@ATC235 7 лет назад

How often do you change the oil? I just bought a used one with 30k miles on it. Same year and color as urs. Thanks for the video

@drivenoutdoors_208 7 лет назад

+ATC235 The owners manual says every 15k miles but I still stick to the 5-7k mile intervals just to be safe. Thanks for the comment 👍👍

@salmonkiller2545 7 лет назад

You are wasting your money changing your oil and oil filter 8-5K miles before Chrysler engineering maintenance manual suggest too.

@JGORDON18 7 лет назад

It's 15k OR every 6 months whichever comes first. I put about 6 to 7k miles on a year so sometimes the oil doesn't even have 3000 miles on it.

@curtisbull1583 6 лет назад

I've watched a lot of these type of videos, looking at getting a 14 and up ram cummins in April. First one I've seen from idaho, and area I actually know. Do you have leaf springs or coil springs in the back?

@drivenoutdoors_208 6 лет назад

+Curtis Bull coils.. it's a 2500HD

@curtisbull1583 6 лет назад

Jeff Borron What's your thought on them over the leaf spring set up, do they really ride better?

@drivenoutdoors_208 6 лет назад

+Curtis Bull In my opinion no they don't. The 2500 is still very stiff in the rear.

@johnherrington3416 4 года назад

@ranchooaksfarm2639 6 лет назад

Hey Jeff, what kind of Toyota Tundra did you get? And what was wrong with ur dodge 2500, cause I was planning on getting one...?

@drivenoutdoors_208 6 лет назад

+Filipica The third 2017 SR5 Crewmax 4x4. Got tired of all the recalls on the Ram. It was my 3rd Ram and all three had issues. Nothing to leave you stranded but definitely expected better quality and reliability out of a 60k truck. I also don't tow near as much so I went back to a Tundra. Yes it's a older platform but it's been proven. All in all if I were to get another diesel or need one I would look really hard at the Duramax. Take care

@ranchooaksfarm2639 6 лет назад

Do you have any videos or pictures of the new tundra and how you like it?

@ModernCivilWar Год назад

How much does an oil change cost you at the dealer?

@jamestaylor-qb9wo 6 лет назад

@codydb95 5 лет назад

james taylor that's unbelievable cheap! Here up in canada your looking at $300 at the dealership or at a lube shop. And thats not even including a fuel filter....

@MrFinkFixes 7 лет назад

Did the bigger tires mess up the speedometer? can it be flashed in the computer to adjust for tire size

@drivenoutdoors_208 7 лет назад

+Fink I didn't notice a difference... I wouldn't be worried about it unless you went larger than 35's.

@pmontano8500 6 лет назад

The Lower the speed doesn't show, Over 50mph or so it's starts making a difference like 5mph over the gauge, I went from 245-17 to 285-17,

@csmith8872 7 лет назад

I have added a leveling kit to all of my 1/2 ton trucks so far but not my old 3/4 ton. Are leveling coils normal for 3/4 tons? My 1/2 ton levels were pretty much 2" spacers.

@drivenoutdoors_208 7 лет назад

+Chad Smith You can get by with a 2" spacer no problem. But going with new coils and shocks upfront make it ride a lot better.

@drivenoutdoors_208 7 лет назад

+Chad Smith You'll be just fine with a 2" spacer with shock extensions if you just want to achieve a certain appearance or just want to run larger tires. I would recommend going with Thuren or Carli if you want that 1/2 ton ride in a 3/4 ton truck.

@stephenkennedy9322 6 лет назад

Hi I just subbed... Are you going to start making more videos..? Get a grease needle and grease your zerkless u joints etc every oil change... I have 2006 2500 and always get offers to buy my truck every time I go to dealer.. BTW dealers suck for anything but warrantee.. Love your truck

@drivenoutdoors_208 6 лет назад

Thanks Stephen, I sold my Ram for a multitude of reasons. I've given Ram by business 3 times now(2012,2014,2015) and I wouldn't own another unfortunately. Your 2006 is a classic don't ever get rid of that truck. Read my "about" section for more info. Thanks again👍

@SketchRC 7 лет назад

20 MPG with that thing? That's impressive--my parents just got a 2015 Cherokee, and it only gets 21-22 MPG, and that's without the 6.7 L diesel or the off-road capability of a truck... damn.

@stevosnl 6 лет назад

How frequent is regeneration? I currently have a 2015 f250 and it runs the exhaust clean about once a fuel tank. Mostly my mileage is good but regen ruins it back down to 15 or so. Ram has good deals now so debating the swap to cummins.

@drivenoutdoors_208 6 лет назад

get a egr delete kit to get good mpg

@markm0000 7 лет назад

The egr system on these new trucks is hardly noticeable. The only way to get serious mpg gains is to remove the dpf filter. Most states will not let you do that whatsoever.

@ramstonet 7 лет назад

especially where hes at they have smog check and the dealers wont take his tradein if its been tampered and warranty bye bye

@ramstonet 7 лет назад

as for the difference yes it made alot im getting 20 minamal 17 towing skidsteer in my opinion i like it

@jameseroh6544 7 лет назад

And the fact that a diesel can get big power WITH the DPF in place. Shows that people that remove them do NOT understand diesels. Just add more oxygen by putting a Banks intake, and a Flowmaster Pro muffler on. The Emission will stay legal. The warranty will be good. The air will be clean. Less foot will be required to go the same speed. The fuel will stay in the tank for more miles.

@jameseroh6544 7 лет назад

There is a product Called "Hot Shots Secret." If the DPF gets clogged. For $15 at Auto Zone, you get a half gallon. And less than $40 at the truck stop. The DPF can be cleaned while you drive. Of course, water injection kits. Keeps the system, DPF, AND EGR clean too. Water injection from Snow Performance is CARB approved. So that is a power upgrade and a way to keep things clean. So the thousands of dollars cost for the dealer to replace the DPF, is only for those who like shinny new parts.

So wait. You’re paranoid about changing your own oil in fear of a potential warrantee claim. Yet you buy your fuel filters on eBay. Makes sense.

@codydb95 5 лет назад

If your driving a diesel daily atleast keep up with the maintenance and use it for what its supposed to be used for. Not using it to haul your dinky lil dirt bike and roll coal to look cool.

@rrb396 5 лет назад

Or they can use it for whatever the fuck they want, because you know, they kinda paid for it. God I hate fake gatekeepers...

Winter fuel ?

@shaneruff7035 6 лет назад

In Canada we run Number 1 diesel in winter and Number 2 diesel in summer. The winter mix has kerosene and some additives in it. Diesel will gel when it gets cold clogging filters and injectors. This is a necessity for my climate.

@socialexperimentgaming4808 6 лет назад

@saeedbenjamin8813 5 лет назад

Terrible front end visibility from the stupid bulge hood & huge pillars. This is not a good truck for daily use. I noticed a 2004 f450 crew 4x4 flatbed xl rides better & steers better due to having locking hubs. Before I buy new, I will spend 15k on a bulletproof 6.0 rather than buying something of less value. This ram is not for work ... it is a truck for commuters that want to look macho.worst dodge ever .... could not love a new one at a giveaway price. The new ford's and chevy are crap too.
